General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: New enough, long enough, good start to an article that would benefit from more sources (only 4 sources, and one is a tumblr; another source is given, but under External links; could probably be more references from newspapers through Newspapers.com, ProQuest, etc.). No copyvio detected. The subject is notable, the hook is interesting, and the article as it currently stands has no major issues I can see. Penny Richards (talk) 14:56, 1 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
